The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has reduced the price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for November. The price of a 12kg LPG cylinder has been decreased by Tk26, bringing it down to Tk1,215 from the previous Tk1,241.

The new price, announced by BERC on Sunday (Nov 2), will take effect from this evening. The price of autogas, used in motor vehicles, has also been reduced—from Tk56.77 per litre to Tk55.58 per litre. In October, BERC had cut the price of the 12kg LPG cylinder by Tk29 to Tk1,241, while the price of autogas was reduced by Tk1.38 to Tk56.77 per litre.

The price remained unchanged in December 2024.
